Well thanks much for the help, i certainly learned a lot about old dos which i tought had no more secrets for me. I will have to get a dos partition up in order to play these oldies i guess 😀 Again thanks for your time.

Finally managed to get EMS on display when typing mem needed to shut down OnBoard Nic however , the game still does not want to start 🙁 here is the error Expanded memory function 44 received error 44 In file : wga_mem. asm Ouch! Something nasty happened!

655360 bytes total conventional memory 655360 bytes available to MS-DOS 633024 largest executable program size 1048576 bytes total contiguous extended memory 1048576 bytes available contiguous extended memory 983040 bytes available XMS memory

Something just hit me however i have been able to run most old dos based games up to now aside this one and eye of the beholder 3 figured im running a NTFS file system, perhaps there is the root of my problems ???

Bleh , this game is a hard one to get running i swear :) After freeing enough EMS memory * thanks for the dosx * a new error message comes up Expanded memory function 44 received error 44 In file : wga_mem. asm Ouch! Something nasty happened! ( gotta like their cryptic quotes :) ) any suggestions ?

Here's the deal however, i tried the loadfix -26 ( brining my mem to exactly 610 and it says the dosbox message mentionned in my first post ) basically the message changes in dosbox it asks for system resources "No system ressources, ouch something nasty happened" is the exact message. I will try to …

Trying hard to make this game work , either on windows xp or dosbox or vdms...all mods seem to be problematic In windows xp, after the microprose logo screen, as soon as i touch keyboard or mouse, it says "You need 610 000 conventionnal memory", yet when i check in cmd.exe with mem command , it …

This game is reported to be compatible but i seem to be having a real hard time making it work. I tried disabling XMS and enabling EMS by chaning the .conf file value from true to false ect. I get booted to dos with following error message "No system ressources , ouch something nasty happened." When …

Ok i think i made a step forward :) I realized that uncompressing the zips and then the arj files by hand was not the way to go. I changed some values in the install.nfo and made the install.exe use arj by himself. So the game installed itself with the good old GUI rather than me uncompressing it …

Very strange, i have the same files as you do I am using windows XP, also tried to set compatibility and put EMS to max, but the error message is very cryptic. Perhaps i will try using VDMsound or something also i hear its a dissapointing game compared to the first 2 installations ?

Hi there, im trying to run eye of the beholder 3 and im having a little hard time it seems. Ive tried 2 different abandonware versions which are both complete in terms of files and both give me the same error Error: Couldn't open output file for translation. I also tried to run the game using dosbox …
